If I understand this correctly, when AlQaida releases a tape denigrating the president elect its...BAD.
But when Sean Hannity and rush Limbaugh do it daily on their programs it's Okay?
Do I have that right?

It is more like it is ok for you and your ilk to bash President Bush (You know, "Patriotic Dissent...". But the fact that we criticize Obama, well that just means we are just indignant sore losers

It also apparently means we're all a bunch of racists whose only real beef with Obama is the color of his skin.

I have a coworker who prior to the election was saying that if Obama lost, it meant the US was still racist. She's white, too, but was a college student in the late 60s or early 70s, is a devout catholic in most senses, and participated in a lot of civil rights marches with her fellow catholics (among others) back in the day.

I told her that, yes, people like my Grandpa, who said to me when I last saw him "We don't need a blackie for President" are racist (that followed his greeting of "I thought you'd be thinner by now"). I further told her that lots of conservatives who have legitimate criticisms of his policy plans are not racist, they are just people who disagree with his politics.

LOL THAT IS SO RETARDED! I think there is a difference between an enemy of US insulting the president and a citizen of the US insulting him....but that doesn't make sense does it? Terrorists are the same as citizens, citizens should be treated like terrorists! (the inequality these days...)
